[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 113470, member: 4459"] Tammy, hi. I work in the OR and have done neurosurgery. As far as the impact of removing her right hemisphere and behaviors/symptoms, without knowing how much they took and exactly what was preserved, most of the right brain controls reasoning finctions and functions of language (ie intonation of the voice) and the tranduction of visual and musical stimuli such as facial perceptions (understanding expressions on people's faces).However, for emotion, it's usually bilaterally controlled (both sides of the brain). Not sure what you're trying to address with the medications. Do you want to post that? difficult child was on tegretol. It made her gain a LOT of weight. It started working and then stopped quickly. She was on Lithium when she was 8 or 9 but couldn't handle the blooddraws so we stopped. She started back on Lithium three months ago and is doing very well. Lithium also has some healing properties for the brain. If you look up research by Dr. Manji you'll find some info on that. difficult child also takes the Ridperdal M tab. It's a fast acting rescue medication and it works great. She's also been on most everything and this is the only rescue medication that worked. You might want to consider that as well.
